Chapter 9
Lost Underworld
Flames roared throughout the Lost Underworld. In the distance a huge pillar of flame erupted from the ground. The fires spread through the lush forests faster than butter on toast. The air was quickly becoming polluted by carbon monoxide. The smoke had gathered at the top of the large cavern begging to escape through the tiny hole that lead to Lumine Hall.
Ness struggled to help the Tendas escape from the Lost Underworld. He had gathered groups together and teleported them to Deep Darkness. He was now resting in the Cave of Time. Somehow this cave was trapped in the past. The heavy fires of the Lost Underworld couldn't bother him now.
The monsters from the Fire Spring had escaped into the Lost Underworld and had set the trees on fire. It had spread quickly and uncontrollably. The Tendas were helpless against this awesome threat. The fires would rage on for days.
Not only would it destroy the Lost Underworld, but also the Earth itself. The smoke produced would eventually find its way to the surface and into the atmosphere. That's why it was necessary for Ness to do everything he could. He had tried his PSI Storm, but it just wasn't enough.
Ness sighed as he looked out across the chasm. On the other side was the Phase Distorter. The time travel device Ness and his friends had used to get here. Suddenly Ness got an idea. He ran to the cave entrance and prepared himself for teleport speed. He took off running and at the last second jumped across the chasm.
He landed on the edge of the chasm and threw himself forward. He fell flat on his face, but Ness was safe. Ness ran over to the Phase Distorter. There was still a little power left to the systems. Using what little knowledge he had Ness punched some commands into the computer.
Suddenly the Phase Distorter was filling up with cryogenic gases. Soon Ness fell into a deep sleep….
Under the Sea
The labs were absolutely amazing. Jeff had never known such technological wonders. The computers processed advanced algorithms faster than anything his father ever had. Jeff had been immediately put to work by Tribon.
The project he was working on was an Essence Containment Unit. It was a device that was supposed to contain the evil energies that were drained by Tribon's people, the Erisans. Jeff had also learned that the underwater city was called Erisa, after the people's homeworld.
In a vial next to Jeff was a sample of the energy he needed to control. It was cooled down and therefore in a liquid state. Jeff was amazed at the energy contained within. Within one milligram was the equivalent of three nuclear power plants.
Jeff was amazed that these people could resist such power. A loud rumbling sounded in the distance. Jeff didn't turn around to look as he knew it was equipment for the Containment Unit.
It was all placed in a specialized room. Jeff had been denied access due to the sensitive nature of the equipment. Jeff was saddened by this, but understood completely. Jeff felt his eyes beginning to droop so he saved all the work he had been doing on his lab computer.
He grabbed his coat and walked out. When Jeff landed here he had landed in the lap of luxury, which made him uneasy. Nothing this grand didn't come without some sort of consequence.
Saturn Valley
The Phase Distorter sat in the middle of the valley. It had been sitting there since the arrival of the Mr. Saturns. It was completely rusted and covered in vines and other greenery. The Mr. Saturns knew that this was the device used by Ness and his friends to go back in time and defeat Giygas.
Since it was abandoned in the past it had been part of history for the Saturns. A few Mr. Saturns was walking by the Phase Distorter. Suddenly it began to discharge a cold gas. When the gas stopped the door opened.
Ness stepped out of the Phase Distorter holding his head. He fell down to the ground because of disorientation. A few minutes later he stood up. He quickly ran off and headed for Threed.
When Ness got to Threed he immediately headed for the nearest store. When he got there her checked the calendar. He had done it! By freezing himself in the Phase Distorter he had gotten a few extra days to figure out how to stop the fires that would occur in a few days.
Ness stepped outside and teleported himself back to the Lost Underworld. Hopefully now he could save the world again.
Dalaam
Poo was getting worse by the minute. The nightmares were getting worse. Poo had to be strapped to the bed to keep him from hurting himself. Whatever was wrong with Poo was eating him up.
Will Ness be able to save the Lost Underworld and Earth from death? What is happening with Jeff? And what evil is infecting Poo? Find out in The Seed of Giygas Chapter 10!
